IGCSE
Get in touch
We are excited that you have considered joining us on this exciting learning journey.
Course Overview
Our IGCSE course is a two-year course that provides comprehensive coverage of the Cambridge IGCSE examination for English as a Second Language syllabuses. Topic-based units engage students and assist them in developing the necessary reading, writing, speaking, listening, and grammar skills.
Leaning Objectives
Each unit helps you build up your skills, from the simpler aspects of learning, such as recognising and understanding information, to more challenging ones like understanding people’s attitudes. Reading and listening to different views will help to develop opinions and critical thinking. Discussions between students is encouraged to help express ideas so that students can communicate clearly and confidently on a range of topics. Developing the ability to express yourself in writing is considered an important goal of the course – students are given lots of help with vocabulary and style to use to enable students to write independently, confidently, and easily. Throughout the course, students will be taught exam skills and tasks which they will practice, and they will also help them in their future studies and work.
Target Audience

Before registering for this course, students are required to:

These prerequisites ensure that students are appropriately placed and prepared for their educational journey with us.
Educators
Our teachers possess a minimum qualification of a B.A. in English and undergo ongoing training, including programs by the British Council and Cambridge University. The team is carefully selected for high expertise, ensuring excellence. Parents can expect to foster a productive and friendly relationship with their child’s teacher, who keeps them consistently informed and updated.
Method of Assessment
Students are assessed on the skills and exam tasks they have learned at the end of each unit. There is also continuous assessment throughout the course with constructive feedback on their work giving learners the opportunity to improve on each part of the exam. Mock tests give both teachers and students an idea of their abilities and an opportunity to set goals that they will gradually achieve until students take the exam.
At the end of the academic year, students will be awarded a Certificate of Attainment from Together English Language Centre. The TET certificate will be endorsed by our Academic Director. Following their results from the IGCSE examination in the second year, they will be awarded a certificate from Cambridge Assessment International Education. (CAIE)
